Thread: shawnee bend area

Good luck, save the big ones for Saturday. Your wife will be thinking about all the jewelry she can buy with the money you want to spend on a silly fish locator.

LSL your probly right---- heck i mite not need fish finder after all... I went out of the shawnee ramp to the left. Fish coves up to south buck creek then i went to the other side... I only fish what i could see on my old worn out fish finder.... I caught some where around 30 fish... Lots of 9 1/2 but a few in the 11 inche range and one 12 1/2. It was a catch and release day for me.. Most were 10 to 12 ft down.. some were over 30 ft of water and other were in 15 ft.. I sure wish i had a camera with me (one on cell phone dosn't work) cause i was a motor boating along and almost in the middle of the lake was a deer swimiing for her life to get to the other side..It was a site to watch..

Sounds like another pretty good day on the lake.

That's good, you left all but one slabs for saturday

I saw a deer walk down a ramp and swim dang near a eighth a mile once while out one day. I have heard that they do that when they are sick. I cant remember with what disease though and good report i was out this foggy morning myself.

Well that deer was up on that island when i first saw it.... Then i heard a big splash and saw it swiming out into the main part of the lake... After a bit i went out there and watch it for a while then went on acroos the lake... I feel it didn't make it and become fish bait

This island

I've seen deer swim the missouri and mississippi river a few times. even fawns are very strong swimmers. they have no problems on water.
Hope ya get that new fishfinder for X-mas!
